The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate needs to urgently repair a leak in Nyanga on its Steenbras bulk water pipeline leading to the Newlands Reservoir. During this time, residents in the Southern Suburbs between Kenilworth and Mowbray are asked to please reduce their usage until the repairs are completed to assist with maintaining water supply levels to their areas.

Arrangements are being made so the repairs to a leaking water pipeline in Nyanga can start as soon as its logistically possible, this weekend.

During this time, residents in the following areas need to please reduce their water usage from today until the repairs are completed: Claremont, Rondebosch, Newlands, Rosebank, Kenilworth, Mowbray and Wynberg. This will help maintain the water supply from Newlands reservoir to these areas.

The City is monitoring the water supply to these areas and the reservoir’s levels closely.

Thank you to our residents for their patience. Every effort is being made to complete the repairs in the shortest possible timeframe.

The City regrets any inconvenience caused but it is imperative to maintain our water supply infrastructure network to benefit its consumers.
